RedLetterMedia Let’s talk about classic horror film and it’s dated, silly sequels, b*tch!
In part 1 of our Freddy retrospective, Mike and Jay discuss the confusing mythology of the franchise as well as go through Nightmare on Elm Street parts 1 through 4.

I hope in Part 2 you'll get to talk about Robert Englund a bit. It's easy to take him for granted in these films.
C'mon guys Whodini and grandmaster Dee are absolute legends in hip hop, saying no one remembers them is insane.
Did the dolt on the left say that no one remembers whodini? Speak for yourself, ye non knower of rap peasant. What a plebeian. 😆
"Case of the not gays"
Ive literally never heard this term except from Jay like every other video. We get it Jay, you're gay. Nobody cares.
That Picard joke at the end was fucking inspired!
Mike: "He does look menacing in that"
Jay: "Yeah, he's got like a hook-nose"
Oof.
The first Hellraiser is much better.
nooooo, part 2 pls xD so nostalgia, many fun
The unblessed holy water idea is brilliant, Mike should be doing writing consultancy
Great stuff, RLM back on form.
3:15 Seven Nights At Freddie’s? Why does that sound familiar…
Lets brain storm bitch!!
I'm with Jay I would love a Scream Factory treatment for this series. Their Halloween and Friday the 13th releases we're great.
Do the Child’s Play series next
personally not a fan of the series as a whole and think, outside of the first, they're only worth watching for Robert Englund's legendary performance
I actually wouldn't be surprised if they did offer Mike/Jay/Rich a writing job for one of these new Star Trek shows.
I wish they didn't dismissed the final movie. I think it gets a bad wrap because it doesn't have Robert England. It was solid. My only gripe is that they had the opportunity to make it that Freddy was innocent and killed by overzealous parents, which would have been interesting. An innocent turned monster for revenge.
I can't believe how well Jay nailed the voice with "We got some studio noootes!"
thanks Mike~
I love the not Bill Marr and not Meryl Streep observations. Finally someone has acknowledged that lol.
When is RLM-con?
We got some studio notes!
Every Freddy movie is better than most horror movie franchises, also Prom Night II is on the same level if you are looking for something with the same vibe.
The 4th movie should have started with a scene of the city coming in to clean up what they have deemed to be an unsafe and hazardous junkyard. They find Freddy’s bones and the city tries to figure out whose bones they are. Freddy will no longer be buried in consecrated ground or whatever, which would be reason enough for Freddy to return.
I was going to mention Scream Queen but you guys had it covered lol. The second movie sticks in my mind the most. The bus scene was so great!
Nightmare was the first series to put out a big box set just FYI
13:20 cheeky little ripper
Comparing Freddy and Pennywise, Freddy has the better gimmick. Kids sometimes escape from Pennywise for unknown reasons, but at least with Freddy there's a clear line that if you're awake you should be safe.
It warms my cold heart to see them acknowledge how clever the 2nd one, Freddy's Revenge is. One of the most underrated movies period, just so hilariously demented. I would guess the director knew exactly what he was doing.
